For the past couple days.. my dog has been walking around dripping this milky discharge from her area. She'll lick herself profusly and the carpet if she finds a spot where she leaks. i'm not exactly sure but i think she might have recently had a cycle but now the milky discharge is starting to look more like blood (that smells really bad) The milky discharge started as little drips but now whatever it is that's dripping drips in NOT LARGE but big amounts... I've tried to stop the dripping by putting on my own homemade version of a diaper with a pad and underwear (sad i know) at around 11:00 pm and by 1:00 am the underwear was completely soaked. I'm not sure if it's due to her age or if it's an infection but it's almost financially impossible to take her to see a vet... Can anyone give some sort of advice to what i should do to make me dog more comfortable... Pills, a Vet's number, anything is appreciated...

she needs to see a vet....one of the reasons we spay animals is prevention of
pyometra, which is the form of uterine infection most common in dogs. This
is a life threatening condition when it occurs, due to the way that dogs
have heat cycles at long intervals. About 8% of female dogs will develop
pyometra during their life time. The signs of pyometra can be very subtle.
Sometimes there is a vaginal discharge, in which case the pyometra is
considered to be an "open" pyometra and requires attention quickly. In
other cases, there is no discharge and the dog just seems ill. This is the
really dangerous form of pyometra because dogs often develop severe
infections before there is a clear sign of trouble.

She's got a severe infection, and it sounds like her area, is rotting, and has internal bleeding. ( or she may be having a late 'heat' cycle.
Make sure you call a vet to find out for sure, and save the home-made diaper for them to look at.( it sounds nasty but trust me it will help in the long run)
Describe every little painstaking detail.
My mom's dog has a routing of staph infections, so it might be an advanced version of such.
Good luck, and make sure you keep her drinking alot of water.
Get to the vet soon!

Get her to the vet. She could have a pyometra(uterine infection) which can be fatal. Vet's phone #'s are listed in the phone book. Has your dog never seen a vet?

Take her to the vet. It is most likely a uterine infection and if it is not too late she needs some serious antibiotics. She is most likely in some severe discomfort too. Repeat take her to the vet now!

Pyometra
You need to get her to a vet. SHe may need an emergency spay if her uterus is infected. It fills with puss.

Yes, take her to the vet. And let me just ask you one thing: why didn't you have her spayed??
